PHONOGRAPH TABLE-CABINET.-

To all wko/n t may concern.'

Be'liit known that I, PETER KRAUSHAAR, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Montebello, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new end Vnsehil Improvements in Phonograph Table-Cebinets. of which the following is a specification.

This. invention relates to a phonograph cabinet, and pertains particularly to a cabinet which when closed has the appearance of n table. Y

The primary object of this invention is to provide a cabinet having the appearance of a table and so constructed that the phonograph and its horn are bombed beneath the table top. lt is another object of this invention to provide a cabinet of the class lescribed `.vith :i phonograph und horn mounted to be drown out and opened up in the manner ot' nn ordinal-5Y table drawer.

ln addition to the broader features of this invention7 there nre certain details oi struc ture, Wherebv :t strong, durable, and simple cabinet of the. form and appearance of a table may be obtained without detracting from the ornamental appearance ot the table.

These objects will he more fully understood as will also other objects and corresponding accomplishments of my invention lfrom the followingr fletaiiefl description oi.A

nn embodiment thereof. For the purpose of this description reference. is had to the ec companying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a. perspective View of a table cabinet with the phonograph closed in; Fig.

2 is a horizontal section as seen on the line 2--2 of Fig. l; Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary section taken on the line :3Q-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a section taken on the broken line 4-4 of Fig. 3; and Fig. 5 is a section similar to Fig. 2 showing the honograph in Vits open position an rea y for playing.

Referring more particularly to Fig. 1, the cabinet is shown as a table havin the a, ron with a. loinglr side thereof divide into t ree panels. The opposite side of the table has` the some general appearance. The middle panel forms the outer wall of a sliding drawer iontaining the phonograph. The panel upon the opposite side forms a muf fler for a telescopic horn, one section thereof Specification ot Letters Patent.

being attached to the table apron and another' seetion communicating with the phonograph tone arm.

The table is shown as having a fixed top, beneath which is an apron hnvnr a rear portion T and a front portion 8. T en ron is completed by end portions 9 and 10. oth the front and rear aprons are divided into three panels, the rear panels are indicated by Il, l2 end i3, see Flg. 2, The panel 12 constitute` the iront lwall of a siiding drawer housing the phonograph. Secured to the wall 12 at about the middle thereof and extending to the rear is e bed 14, upon which the phonograph turntable is mounted'. and beneath which the motor is suspended. Extending across the bed at the rear end thereof is a wall l forming n rear wail for the phonograph housing.

Partition wells 16 and 17 extend transl .'ersely arrose: the table and forni side elosrires for the phonograph drawer. Secured thereto below the level of the hed i4 are pairs ot' tracks. the pnir on wall 17 bein indicated h v 18 and 19, see Fiqs. 3 and 4. *xtendin toward the front of the table end secure to the bottom thereof are arms 20 and 21, and secured thereto are Wheels riding on the rails. lle-.herring to arm 2 brackets 22 and Q3 are fixed thereto. and journeled in the brackets are wheeels 2li and 25. This oonstrln'tion provides for easy sliding of the drawer.

The particular construction of the phonom graph which is indicated generally by 26 forms no part of my invention, and the phonograph is merely shown conventionaily. A tone arm 27 is suitably connected into the Wall 15 and communicates with the section 28 of the telescopic horn. Section 28 is fixed to the Wall 15 and slides with the drawer. lt is nested within a section 29. which is Fixed to the apron 8. The mouth of the horn covers the middle panel of the front apron. The panel pro er consists of a sliding wall 30, which may e moved from in front of the horn opening leaving only the afzettingv 31. The wall 3() comprises s. muiler for the phonograph. Secured to the wall is a flexible metallic strip 232 connected vat one end to n lever 33 pivoted et 33 and sordieoose that e person at the rear of the table may reach nnderneeth ond grasp the lever to more the panel 30.

sounds.

The manipulation of the table, when the phonograph is to be played is as follows: he phonograph drawer is pulled outwardly moving the phonograph so that it vis accessibie.- The horn section 28 moves with the drawer, the large end registering with the small end of section 29, thereby 'providing a complete horn. The phonograph may now be operated. Lever` 33 may be manipulated to produce the proper muiilin'g eiiect. If desired, the drawer may be closed Without interfering with the production of the music or other phonograph `and 17` and are disposed in grooves on walls 34 and 35. This provides a guide for the viover. The cover is open at each end so that it may be slid over the phonograph to inrampas close the latter and shut oi noises, when the drawer is out.

It is obvious that I have provided a phonograph cabinet having the general appearance of a table and serving all the purn posesof a table. The phonograph is so disposed that when the drawer 1s opened u it and its horn are transverse of the ta ie.

This leaves room at the sides of the table rdpigeon holes in which records may be :What I claim is:

In a table having a aneled apron, the combination of a shdablld drawer having a panel of said apron forming the outer wall thereof, a phonograph mounted on said drawer, a section of a telescopic horn se' cured to said drawer, another section of Said horn secured to said apron with the mouth thereof registering with a anel opposite to said first mentioned pane In witness that I claim the Afore oing I have hereunto subscribed my name t is 26th day of April,`1919.
